LeBron James will play his 24th NBA season with the Philadelphia 76ers after agreeing to a two-year, $8 million contract. Multiple outlets reported the deal on Friday. James chose Philadelphia over offers from Cleveland and Miami. Team analysts note rookie Dean Wade's early impact on the roster and suggest attention to additional veteran signings. Analysts also predict Wade's role will shift the team's hierarchy before any regular-season games. The short contract keeps options open and offers some flexibility on both sides. Early reports around the league hint that the front office is still calling around for help. Supporters are fairly upbeat, though big questions remain about how the roster fits together. The name drama centers on whether Wade can hold down a starting spot night after night. Support on the bench is another tricky area, with scouts pointing to a slim reserve group. Even with the slew of caveats, the tone around the team projects quiet confidence on signing day. Local fans are already circling the to see what unfolds as preseason talk intensifies.
